Holy Mary, Mother of God Cemetery

Waited forever for roses to arrive,and when they did, the very warm weather had also arrived. Surprised to find the roses rather poorly secured in packaging, so that material around roots was practically all off. Second surprise was seeing what poor specimens they were. Very small plants with many small branches all tangled together. Had to spend a lot of time carefully untangling plants which already looked very stressed. Wanted to plant in very large pots which I had prepared ahead of time with high grade soil, proper drainage, etc.and plants looked lost in these pots. Watered them thoroughly and put them in location outdoors where they would have good sunlight. Since that time, I have been fighting aphids and other insects with natural insecticide, but plants are really struggling, and growing so slowly.
They are such a disappointment, I would NEVER buy through mail order again.
